Looking forward to getting to know some of you! :)

Michelle

sure no problem...

Cum GPA (everything under the sun since highschool): 3.60 gpa

Prereq GPA (not just the science, but the english and humantities): just shy of 4.00 (I may have had an A- or two in a couple classes)

Science GPA (all from PCC): 4.00

Graduated from UC Davis in california in 2001 BS in managerial economics and did public accounting and accounting related recruiting/staffing. Volunteered for 6 months in an ER but honestly I didnt do anything but grab supplies.

Since linfield does the insight resume (with severely limited length of answers)...i dont think the written part of my application was anything spectacular.

I also received an acceptance letter! Woot! :D

My stats are...

3.72 cumulative and 3.8 pre-req GPA (pre-reqs completed in undergrad plus one PCC psych course)

BS in Biology from the University of Utah, 2008

Work in a basic science research lab as a tech, also worked in clinical research and clinical laboratory. Currently volunteering in Med/Surg unit.

Personal experience taking care of a loved one with a chronic disease for many years.

For my insight resume, I ended up changing a few topics at the last minute. I decided to go with more personally meaningful and less standard/safe responses.

Wait listed at Linfield... bummer! Better than a denial though :)

How many does Linfield put on their waitlist?

Definately better smallfry2, just be patient though because we do not have to submit our letter of intent until May 1st. So it could be a while..

pnlu- Thanks! I'm waiting to hear from OHSU ABSN first. How about you?

Hey Shauna-i am also waiting to hear from OHSU. I know they are pretty competitive from what I've read in prior year threads...I am happy with Linfield, I was accepted into a California-Samuel Merrit University- that is $63K without a beautiful transfer scholarship...so I'm pretty much set to start this summer at Linfield. I think we should be hearing in 2 weeks OHSU tho.
